Since yesterday google chrome have been running in dark mode. As far as I understand, this is due to a new update which makes chrome follow the mode of my default app mode. When I google for an answer most of the questions is about how to enable dark mode, but not many about how to disable it or force light mode.
I'm running on windows 10 with dark mode as default app mode and I intend to continue doing so, so changing to light theme isn't the solution here. I have tried changing the theme on chrome but the url bar is still in black so that would be the last solution.
I've seen a number of command line switches on peter.sh but those are intended for chromium, not google chrome (I know that they share many similar switches but they are not completely identical). I saw that there is a --force-dark-mode but it seems like there isn't any --force-light-mode.
Can I find an updated list of google chrome command line switches somewhere else, or any other solution that might work?
Thanks in advance!

As of the version 76.0.3809.100, this solution doesn't work anymore. (1),(2)
I took a look at this issue in Google Support and found this answer:
Do this to your desktop shortcut (and unpin/repin the icon in the taskbar to get the updated shortcut) and it should be light while Windows is still in Dark Mode.
